Thanks gentlemen. So for the sake of argument let's just call it 1500 bucks to get it on the bench, and then whatever it cost to start pushing and pulling things around.

Given that our cars have welded in fenders etc, any pushing or pulling would impact fender and hood fit, correct?

I would think if the car is that bent you'd see fitment problems with the hoods.

Yes. We had a build that we couldn’t get the hood right. Put it on the bench. 1/2” shift to the right. Once it was straight, the hood fit properly.

Around 2006 a friend had one that was "loaded". Couldn't get a whimper out of anyone.
After the 911 crazed started "interested parties" started coming out of the woodwork. I still field the occasional inquiry. "Do you still have that Celette? NO, I don't.

You can rent one too:
